to "ON", all of the display segments of
the f\fel meter will appear one after the
other and then disappear in order to
test the electrical circ\fit. The display
segments of the f\fel meter disappear
towards "E" (Empty) as the f\fel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near "E" (Empty), ref\fel as soon
as possible.
TIP
This f\fel meter is eq\fipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If the electrical cir-
c\fit is defective, all the segments will
start flashing. If this occ\frs, have a
